Summary

For over a century the focus of psychotherapy has been on what ails us, with the therapeutic process resting upon the assumption that unearthing past traumas, correcting faulty thinking, and restoring dysfunctional relationships is curative。 But something important has been overlooked: the positives。 Shouldn't making us happier, better people be explicit goals of therapy?

Positive Psychotherapy: Workbook guides readers through a session-by-session therapeutic approach based on the principles of positive psychology, an exciting new area of study examining the factors that enable us to flourish。 This workbook, designed to be used in conjunction with the accompanying clinician's manual, first explains what exactly positive psychotherapy is, exploring the important concepts of character strengths。 What follows are 15 positive psychotherapy sessions, each complete with lessons, guidelines, skills, and worksheets for practicing positive psychology skills learned in session。 Those interested in improving well-being through psychotherapy will find in Positive Psychotherapy a refreshing complement to other approaches, endowing readers with a sense of purpose and meaning that many have found lacking in more traditional therapies。

A very useful workbook。 I've used it with adolescent groups in a residential facility for several months and have also used ideas from it in individual therapy with young adults。 While some worksheets can be copied for use in class, I created most of my own handouts so that it would fit the needs of the age level/audience。 It also provides ideas/structure for conducting the time in the group and additional resources that can be useful such as online videos, websites, extra readings, etc。 As the A very useful workbook。 I've used it with adolescent groups in a residential facility for several months and have also used ideas from it in individual therapy with young adults。 While some worksheets can be copied for use in class, I created most of my own handouts so that it would fit the needs of the age level/audience。 It also provides ideas/structure for conducting the time in the group and additional resources that can be useful such as online videos, websites, extra readings, etc。 As the web rapidly changes, some of the resources are already out of date and unavailable but one can readily find adequate substitutes with a Google or Youtube search。 I've been reading about Positive Psychology for several year so this book wasn't a stretch。 I might recommend another or supplemental title if this is your very first exposure to it。 。。。more
